THE ED MYLETT SHOW · How to Rewire Your Body's Response to Stress, Trauma & Anxiety Feat. Dr. Stephen Porges · 14 Apr 2026 podcast

Chronic pain is the same thing.

We have the signals, even though the structure has healed.

So the issue, it's a neural signaling problem.

And so that's what this acoustic intervention was about, signaling the nervous system that it was safe enough to move back into homeostatic functions.

So we did a four-week study in which a vagal nerve stimulator was given to one group, the acoustic to another, and both to another group, and the fourth group got nothing.

And the group that got nothing got worse or nothing.

But the group that got either of the interventions showed remarkable reductions of symptoms.

And if they got both of them together, it was even more synergistic.

It was done because the customer, and I can't mention the customer.

This is what you get into when you're a researcher.

Well, I need to know about the next pandemic.

Is there a way of treating symptoms of, let's say, chronic illness when that's scalable that doesn't require a physician or a nurse or someone to do it?

So this is all done online.

It's got the engine.

So think one step further.

And that is the ability.

I like to use the concept of feeling safe.

You don't have permission to feel safe when your body is destabilized, when your homeostatic processes aren't working right.

If you have gut pain or you have heart palpitations, you're not given the permission by the nervous system to experience positive feelings.

So but if you think of that way, you start realizing that, yeah, my physical presence, my physical state gives me permission to experience something else, whether it's sociality, whether it's love or whether it's just plain curiosity.
